Britain’s Got Talent judge KSI was left fighting back tears over his dad during the latest semi final after an emotional performance from poet Sonny Green struck a deeply personal chord.
KSI, 32, became visibly upset as Sonny performed a poem called ‘You’ll Never Be Too Old to Get a Cuddle From Your Dad’.
The market trader wrote the heartfelt piece as a letter to his two young sons.

At the end of the performance, Sonny’s boys joined him on stage for a cuddle with their father.
Viewers were stunned to see KSI close to sobbing during the powerful audition.
The judge then shared an emotional admission about his own relationship with his dad and promised to “be a better son” during the live ITV show.
Soon after, Simon Cowell pressed the Golden Buzzer for Sonny.

Sonny’s semi final performance left the judging panel emotional from start to finish.
Amanda Holden was also seen in tears as Sonny recited the touching words: “Buy your mum some flowers, open the door open for strangers and do your best to soak up the stress and smile. Even when you ‘ain’t got much left.”
During the poem, Sonny repeatedly told his sons: “You’ll never be too old to get a cuddle from your dad.”
“Pride comes before a fall, so be humble. But never forget who you are,” he also said.
The emotional performance ended with Sonny embracing his two young boys in front of the judges.
When it came time for feedback, KSI struggled to speak as he wiped away tears.
After gathering himself, he admitted: “Sonny, that just… it really hit me. I know my relationship with my dad isn’t always the best so hearing those words makes me really think about what I need to improve on.
“You’re great, I know I need to do better as a son. It really hit me.”
